Originally published in 1956, this survey of the interpretations of
sex by the major figures in Christian thought and in psychoanalysis
made an important contribution to the re-thinking of our sexual
morality at the time. The author refutes the common belief that the
negative attitude toward sex and the body, which had been
predominant in western civilization, originated with Christianity.
He shows that such a viewpoint was widespread in the early
Hellenism Age, nearly three centuries before Christ. He emphasizes
the essentially positive view which Biblical religion demands and
shows how Christianity's attitude early became corrupted by the
dualism of the Orient. He points to the need for a return to
essential naturalism and the Biblical interpretation of sex. The
first part of the book consists of a historical treatment in the
Christian tradition, touching upon the teaching of Jesus, Paul,
Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin and others. He analyses the
classical and contemporary attitudes and ideas in both Catholic and
Protestant circles and shows how Christian understanding comes into
conflict with psychoanalysis. In the later portions of the book the
author discusses sex and psychoanalysis and the major problems in
sexual mores. He ends with a synthesis of the religious and
psychoanalytic points of view and a critical reconstruction of a
Christian interpretation.
'Charming, moving, uplifting. Why can't all love stories be like
this?' Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal 'This is a
charming and uplifting book' Piers Morgan Seventeen-year-old
schoolboy Kim is an idle drifter at one of Britain's most
extraordinary institutions, Eton College - crammed with over a
thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the
Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears
his new piano teacher, the beautiful but pained India, playing
Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Kim's life is destined never to be
the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops and he
wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love.
Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their
fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out - finished off
by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own
withering jealousy. The Eton Affair is the bittersweet story of a
life-changing love.
